How to Get Fit and Stay Fit

• Exercise at whatever time best fits your schedule.
• Don't overdo it - it's best to start an activity slowly and gradually increase the length and intensity of your workout over five or six weeks.
• Work out within your target heart rate.
• Exercise with a friend or family member.
• Get qualified instruction before starting a weight-training program.
• Switch to another activity if you start getting bored.
